Any way to find out if the turbos have already been replaced just from the VIN?

Currently looking for a used N54 135i. Would this information be reported to carfax? Or would there maybe be any way for BMW to check the VIN and see if turbos were replaced at the dealer? Would they give me this information?

I ran quite a few Carfaxs and couldn't find a single one showing one with turbos replaced.

I've had my turbos replaced and it does not show on my Carfax.
I'm just happy I've saved all service records because I'm trying to sell my 135 now.
